What matters to employees? When it comes to employee retention, I always hear the same criteria: compatibility from privacy and job, a good salary, a good atmosphere in the company and in the Team. But things get really serious when the relationship with the boss is not right. This is precisely why superiors play a crucial role when it comes to retaining employees over the long term.

The study “How superiors to satisfaction of their employees can contribute”, which OfficeTeam published in March 2014 clearthat an important feel-good factor is often overlooked: the supervisor.

Discounts for your success (advertising)!

Companies that want to retain their employees effectively should pay close attention to the leadership qualities of their department heads. I maintain that the leadership skills of superiors are based on technical know-how eye level across from. Therefore I advise:

1. Maintain an honest praise culture. Make sure that praise does not disappear in everyday life.
2. Establish regular and well-prepared appraisal interviews. They help you to recognize at an early stage whether someone has possibly already quit internally. I also recommend conducting an anonymous employee survey every year in order to detect any potential weaknesses and counteract them.
3. Train leaders to identify and nurture talent - and how to enable their employees to deliver and succeed.

With these three advice, you will be able to do exactly what the above mentioned students are concerned about. It is no longer enough to offer an attractive salary, flexible working hours or a better balance between work and private life.
